The big send off....

After much preparation, I left for my mission on October 11, 2011.  I left the Salt Lake City airport at 12:50 p.m.  I arrived in Johannesburg South Africa on October 13, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. It was the longest flight of my entire life! I was extremely tired and lost my appetite.  I had a 12 hour layover in London England.  I did not care much for the food.  I ordered a sandwich and chips(fries).  I learned that in Europe they do not cook the meat and I thought my sandwich was pretty gross. However, they did have a lot of cool shopping center.
Africa is super cool and I got to meet my new companion his name is Elder Mimzi.  Elder Mimzi is from Durban South Africa.
I have only been here for a short time but, I am already learning some interesting facts about South Africa.  In addition, I have already been taught some things in the African click language.  It is extremely difficult.   I am still getting use to driving on the other side of the road.
